Athletic Achievements

Emory, which fields 18 NCAA Division III varsity sports teams, is one of five schools in the nation to rank in the top 20 in both the Directors Cup of the National Association of Collegiate Athletics for best all-around athletics program, and the 2010 U.S. News & World Report rankings of best national universities.

For the past decade, Emory has consistently ranked among the top 10 Division III athletic programs in the nation. The women's volleyball team won the 2008 NCAA Division III national championship.

Such recognitions support what Emory students already appreciate: the university supports a well-rounded college experience, where it's expected for athletes to succeed in academics, and scholars to succeed in sports.
